I have already had a brain and neck MRI, both showed no issues. Also, when my headache gets worse it usually brings on earache in my right ear as well, which is the side I hit. My headaches usually start to get worse around mid-day, and sometimes can radiate behind my eyes. I don't even know exactly what type of headache this sounds like, since there are so many different types. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm open to try anything at this point to reclaim my active lifestyle. Thanks for your time.
Hi Donnie,
I feel your pain. I had suffered a TBI/concussion and whiplash over 2 years ago and still have horrible headaches.

Not all neurologists specialize in headaches. Is it possible for you to have a consult with a neuro with a sub-specialty in headaches?

If in the U.S., look at closest university-affiliated health centers for headache specialists. You might also find some of these specialists in private practices, "headache clinics." Investigate your options for seeing a headache specialist.

I hope you are more comfortable with each passing day.

To Our Healing,
DejaVu
